It is already the third issue of "Teaching English with Technology," a free electronic journal published by IATEFL Poland Computer Special Interest Group. It is my utmost pleasure as the Editor to present this issue to subscribers, as well as say a few things about the Journal.

The Journal is growing with every issue. We already have over 500 subscribers all over the world, and the number is increasing all the time. After each announcement about a new issue on discussion lists I get plenty of responses of people interested in receiving the Journal, both practical teachers and academic researchers. This seems to prove that the Journal fills the gap and satisfies the need for a purely practical publication relating to teaching foreign languages with the help of technology.

The growth of the Journal is also reflected in the flow of contributions we receive. For this issue we have had a few article submissions and a number of lesson plans. We were not able to publish all in the May issue because of limited space, but we hope to publish received materials in the subsequent issue in July. I would like to thank my reviewer, Jozsef Horvath, for the enormous amount of work he has put into reviewing submissions.

As you can see, the Journal is more and more international with every issue. This time we have an article from the USA, lesson plans from the USA and Greece, a book review from Hungary. We are really glad to see that the problems and needs of teachers with respect to using technology in the classroom are similar in different parts of the world.

Another notable change is that our Journal has been assigned ISSN number, the international index number for serial publications. Thanks to that, the Journal seems to gain more value.

This issue of the journal features a very interesting article on active learning in CALL environment, "Active Learning Through Computer-Enhanced Activities," by Joy Egbert. We tend to think that computers and the Internet are enough to motivate our students to learn English actively. As the article shows, it is not always so, but there are some ways of making computer-assisted activities really engaging for students. In Internet Lesson Plans section, I would like to draw your attention to World News Review Audio Software, which is a detailed description of how students can work on improving listening skills with the use of a downloadable software. In A Word from a Techie you can find a detailed instruction on how to search for, find, retrieve materials from the Web to create stimulating material for oral secondary school-leaving exam, matura, in Poland. As for Book Reviews, Jozsef Horvath writes about The Elements of Style, which seems to be a must to read for anyone teaching writing. Finally, Iwona Filip presents to us a review of Cambridge First Certificate in English CD-ROM.

It is hoped that "Teaching English with Technology," the journal for teachers using technology, computers and the Internet in their teaching, will bridge the gap between research theory and classroom practice, by providing both theoretical discussions and practical lesson plans. Thus, teachers and researchers from all over the world are invited to create the journal by submitting their ideas, even a single lesson plan or a classroom technique.

I wish you good reading.
